When the NAACP was founded, the term "colored" was acceptable but since then has broadened its mission to help all people of color. At this point, they have kept the CP in NAACP primarily due to branding issue. Could they rename it? Sure. But at this point it's been around since 1909 and that's how people know the origanization and that's why they haven't changed. Also the term "colored people" here isn't singling out black people in a derogatory way.

That Rep - he was using it in a derogatory way. Clearly and he's 43 years old - he knows better. He knows and if you watch the video there was a collective gasp in the entire room when he said it.

This might help people on how terms have changed but probably not considering the people on here responding the usual way they do with their "whataboutisms" whenever someone's racism and bigotry gets called out.

Let us not forget that the left calls black people who join the Republican party or who are in positions of power House negroes, the black face of white supremacy, the n-word or token like they don't have a brain. Look at Senator Tim Scott helped write the latest Republican tax bill that is totally the opposite of stupid brokeback President Biden disastrous bidenomics..

MSG Stan Hutchison okay maybe not members of Congress but members of the media. I guess it would probably be zombie Angry Joyride the black reporter who shakes her head and looks like one of the Warriors from wakanda. So members of Congress Maybe not. What are you going to do, kick him out of Congress for saying that? I don't think it's the right thing to say but if you watch the trailer for uncle tom, you will see people on the street who are probably Rank and file leftist Democrats call a fellow black person face to face those discouraging terms that I just mentioned. I am sorry, I should have clarified it saying people in the media who are always or more often than not Progressive and can't stand the fact that some African Americans in Congress or in the media are conservative. That is not an oxymoron. Also, notice the media does the say anything against President Biden when he says you ain't black if you don't vote Democrat. Crickets. Okay Rank and file regular people on the left but maybe not equal of Congress. I can't say for people who are representatives in state legislatures. If somebody decides to change parties, I just say you have the right to choose the party of your choice. It was kind of funny I saw the whole interview with President Biden with the former female Republican on MSNBC who used to work for John McCain. She was so giddy to see President Biden. She never asked him one controversial question at all. Had that been candidate Trump, they would have asked all the tough questions but MSNBC loves President Biden. You make me sound like a British aircraft carrier. Maybe you should call me Lieutenant Colonel Politically Incorrect and dauntless. I'll admit when I'm wrong but I'll definitely point it out when you're wrong.

First of all, "Why do you care?" Secondly, are you saying that no white Republicans are racist toward Blacks and have never called them the N-word? Thirdly I guess you'll be a happy grandpa of Black Biracial kids one day right? Well good for you!,

Also , what race was responsible for creating the distrust of the singular black man that ran back into masa's house and snitched on everything the black slaves were doing in the first place? Blacks should always be suspicious on both sides of the aisle because it still happens to this day from the CIA admitting they put drugs and black informants in black neighborhoods, to black FBI informant plants snitching on MLK and Malcom X and you see what happened to them. It's an old tack tick of infiltrate, divide, and concur and it still is in effect today.

His whole rebuttal was about agreeing with Schumer that there should NOT be funding for "DIVERSITY programs" in the military. However, he just made a great case as to why you do need it......o let white men know it's not correct to refer to African Americans as COLORED!
